A driver took an unexpected dip into the water at Hudson Park in New Rochelle on Tuesday afternoon, prompting an emergency response.

Shortly before 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19, first responders responded to the park, when a driver in an SUV drove from the parking lot, through a metal railing and into Echo Bay. It is unclear what may have caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle, though there reportedly may have been a medical issue.

One occupant of the vehicle, an adult male, was unconscious and unresponsive, New Rochelle Police said. He was removed from the scene by ambulance
